Curriculum Vitae
Born and raised in Berlin, Lukas Born studied urban and regional
planning at TU Berlin. Now, he is the coordinator of the Urban
Development Master’s Programme at TU Berlin’s El Gouna campus.
Working in this satellite campus of TU Berlin in Egypt, he is affiliated
with the research activities of the Habitat Unit in Egypt.
He worked for more than five years in the field of neighborhood
management for an urban development agency in Berlin-Wedding
(L.I.S.T. GmbH) with an emphasis on participation, traffic reduction
schemes, art and creative industries. This was followed by project
management tasks for various European and national programmes on
employment, vocational training and conservation. In this context, he
initiated the Project Baerwaldbad at the municipal bathhouse in BerlinKreuzberg with Zukunftsbau GmbH. Under his direction this project
later received Europe’s most prestigious award for heritage protection,
the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award
in the field of vocational training and education (Grand Prix, 2010).
Together with colleagues from L.I.S.T., he is co-author of the Handbook
on Participation for the Senate Department for Urban Development,
Berlin. Parallel to this, he freelanced as an academic mentor for the
research project on ‘Urban Regeneration of Hidden World Heritage in
L'viv’ for TU’s Urban Management program.
After many years of practical work, he returned to TU Berlin as a
researcher. He joined the support team for BMBF’s research program
on future megacities that was focusing on sustainable urban
development in nine emerging megacities around the world. He acted
as editor of the future megacities book series, published by JOVIS
Verlag in 2013/2014.
In summer 2014, he joined the team of TU Berlin’s El Gouna campus as
programme coordinator of the Department of Urban Development and
as a research assistant.
